We've been busy all month long with various Christmas crafts and activities. Last year, I felt like this tradition served to wear me out more than fulfill its intended purpose to build family togetherness. So this year, I selected activities that required less running around on my part, so that we could focus more on spending time together. I'm not going to lie, there has still been a fair amount of facilitation required, but I feel like we've spent more time just being present together as a family...so that is a Christmas win!

On this night, we decorated 'ginger-ninjas,' made homemade pizza (which I've perfected to a science, bytheway), and ate our treats on a picnic blanket under the Christmas tree. Nothing fancy, nothing elaborate, but really enjoyed the good old quality time together.

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." Gordon B. Hinckley, 2006
